Hachiman Hikigaya

The past makes you wanna die out of regret and future makes you depressed out of anxiety. So by elimination, the present is likely the happiest time.

So long as a problem doesn’t cause problems, it can’t be called a problem.

Relying on someone, helping each other out, and supporting each other. Most would say that’s the right thing to do. However, that’s just idealistic. In reality, someone always gets the short end of the stick.

Everyone has something they hold dear, something they never want to lose. That’s why they pretend. That’s why they hide the truth. And that’s why they lie. But the greatest liar is me.

Hard work betrays none, but dreams betray many. Working hard alone doesn’t assure you that you’ll achieve your dreams. Actually there are more cases where you don’t. Even so, working hard and achieving something is some consolation at least.”

They say that if you change yourself, you’ll change the world. but that’s a complete lie. They’re just forcing you to compromise, by feeding you a convenient little fib.

“If wishes could be granted, if desires could be fulfilled, then I wouldn’t wish or desire for anything after all. The things you’re handed on a silver platter are never genuine, and never everlasting. And that is why I’ll always keep searching.

Dreams don't always come true. Working hard alone doesn’t assure you that you’ll achieve your dreams. Actually there are more cases where you don’t. Even so, working hard and achieving something is some consolation at least.

"You can’t run away” is an ideal for the strong. You’re not always wrong. Society, the world, the people around you – often someone else is in the wrong. To think that you can change is adapting to this cruel, indifferent, trashy world. It’s admitting defeat and servility. You’re simply deceiving yourself by dressing it up with pretty words.

When humans are faced with truly terrifying circumstances, they don’t think about other people around them. They’re even willing to sacrifice those around themselves. By exposing that unsightly part of them, they can no longer get along.

If the truth is a cruel mistress, then a lie must be a nice girl. Therefore, kindness is a lie.

It doesn’t matter if we’re wrong…because every time we go wrong, we’ll continue to look for the right answer.
